Invitation | Realizing Empathy

In commemoration
of suicide prevention week,
I’m providing coaching sessions
to founders in distress,
free-of-charge.

Suffering
is not merely about
discomfort
or pain.

We suffer,
when we feel stuck,
unable to make sense of
or progress from
discomfort
or pain.

I live to create a world,
where anyone on the journey
of personal & systemic innovation
can receive help
getting unstuck
and making sense
and progress
within 72 hours.

The kind of help
that draws out
from within us
the natural empathy,
resilience,
and creativity
we all possess.

“You can be whatever you want to be,”
We told our children.

Except…

If I can be whatever I want,
I may feel like being something mundane isn’t good enough.

If I have infinite options,
I may feel overwhelmed by the complexity of decision making.

If I’m even uncertain as to what I want to be,
I may doubt whether I can amount to anything at all.

The same happens in our workplace.

When we, as leaders, give autonomy to our people.
Unless they can tame
The ambiguity,
Uncertainty,
and Complexity they perceive,
They can get stuck in shame, overwhelm, and doubt.

Join our next workshop.
Let us learn
To help our team get unstuck.

May we let autonomy be a gift,
Not a burden.

Irony is when we judge others as lacking empathy
